Gastro-Intestinal (GI) diseases are on the rise so it’s necessary now more than ever to take care of your digestive system.

It’s important to get an accurate diagnosis from a gastro specialist, appropriate treatment, and, if needed, advice on how to cope with a chronic GI disorder because even minor symptoms relating to digestion greatly affect your quality of life.

Many people with gastrointestinal problems don’t come forward and make the decision to continue living with chronic symptoms rather than getting a diagnosis and treatment. There’s no use in living with symptoms unnecessarily. Whether it’s out of embarrassment or concern about being treated insensitively, it’s important to get over this block and get an accurate diagnosis.

  • Abdominal Pain – such as cramping, pain in the lower abdomen, and chronic indigestion
  • Diarrhea – characterized by watery bowel movements more than three times a day
  • Gas in the gastrointestinal tract – bloating, excessive belching and/or flatulence
  • Constipation – Having less than three bowel movements in a week
  • Bleeding in the GI tract
  • Vomiting
  • Nausea
  • Fatigue

Unsurprisingly, GI disorders are not often openly talked about. Nevertheless, it’s important to get an accurate diagnosis and treatment from a specialized gastroenterologist. Our Queens based gastrology doctors deal with digestive problems daily discreetly and in a sensitive manner.

  • 60 to 70 million people in the U.S. are affected by digestive diseases.

  • Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) affects up to 45 million people in the U.S. Two-thirds of sufferers are female. Worldwide, it is estimated that 10% of people suffer from IBS, though a much smaller percentage ever come forward with their symptoms.
  • The latest estimates suggest that 3.1 million U.S. adults are affected by inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), making it 3 times more common than previously estimated.

Here at QueensDocs

We’re aware of the stigma around talking about the symptoms that go along with GI disorders. It’s highly likely that you know someone with IBS or hemorrhoids, but they’ve never discussed it with you. That’s why we want you to know that our GI specialists will deal with your diagnosis and treatment with dignity and discretion.

Unfortunately, there has been an alarming rise of digestive disorders in recent years, some of which can be fatal if not accurately diagnosed and treated. So, it’s important now more than ever to see a qualified physician if you have any symptoms or think you are at risk. Because many symptoms overlap, it may take multiple visits to get a proper diagnosis, but your health is worth it.

Our team here at QueensDocs are here to help prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of GI disorders respectfully, with dignity, and discretion.
